About the ACP-CD4CDM Project

The ACP-CD4CDM Project aimed at
enabling the targeted ACP countries to fully participate in the
carbon market.

The ACP-CDM Project had a duration of
4 years (March 2010 to February 2013) and was implemented by the UNEP DTU Partnership, based in
Denmark.

The activities implemented within
the Project developed and facilitated knowledge in the target ACP
countries that should enable them to fully
participate in the global carbon market. The goal at the end of the
Project is that these countries are able to identify, design,
approve, finance, implement and monitor CDM projects that both
address their sustainable development priorities
and offer cost-effective options for carbon credit buyers to
comply with obligations under the Kyoto Protocol.

Activities implemented by UDP
emphasized the development of a national CDM portfolio of projects
that could be marketed in international carbon events (such
as Carbon Expo) and posted on the webiste of each
country's Designated National Authority (DNA).
